"There is no question that this kind, gentle animal was senselessly murdered."The animal-rights groups provided Business Insider with images of the whale's body, which appeared to show bullet holes.The lifeless body of <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/beluga-whale-rumored-russian-spy-wears-harness-pops-up-sweden-2023-5">Hvaldimir</a> was discovered by a teenage fisherman and his father near the town of Risavika on Saturday morning.Hvaldimir was believed to be about 15 years old, and beluga whales can live up to <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class="" href="https://us.whales.org/whales-dolphins/species-guide/beluga-whale/#:~:text=There%20are%20thought%20to%20be,30%20and%20sometimes%20much%20earlier.">60 years in the wild.</a>His name was a pun on the Norwegian word for "whale" and Russian leader Vladimir Putin's name, in keeping with the "Equipment St. Petersburg" label on his harness and GoPro camera when he was spotted off Norway's northern coast in 2019.That sighting fueled a theory that <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-doubles-trained-dolphin-pens-near-ukraine-guard-navy-uk-2023-6">Hvaldimir was trained by Russia's military</a>, which has a <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-doubles-trained-dolphin-pens-near-ukraine-guard-navy-uk-2023-6">history of using marine animals</a> like dolphins and beluga whales.Hvaldimir <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQvVZGLvCdY">gained celebrity status</a> in Norway, with viral videos showing the whale <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.thedodo.com/in-the-wild/beluga-whale-returns-kayakers-gopro-camera">returning lost items</a> <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.sfgate.com/world/article/See-the-alleged-Russian-spy-whale-retrieve-13829172.php">to their owners</a> and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/that-viral-video-of-a-beluga-whale-playing-fetch-is-probably-not-what-it-seems/">playing with a rugby ball.</a>The death of Hvaldimir comes amid <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-demands-norway-pay-millions-for-reindeer-border-crossing-2023-8">growing tensions between Russia and Norway,</a> an active NATO member that has been ramping up military drills and exercises in the region due to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nordic-navies-focus-on-submarine-warfare-amid-tensions-with-russia-2023-7">fears of Russian aggression.</a>"The injuries on the whale are alarming and of a nature that cannot rule out a criminal act — it is shocking," Siri Martinsen, a veterinarian and the leader of animal-rights group NOAH, said in the statement.She added: "Given the suspicion of a criminal act, it is crucial that the police are involved quickly. Hvaldimir was significant to many, and all facts must be brought to light regarding his death."In a conversation with Business Insider, Martinsen said it's not clear who may have shot Hvaldimir."No, we have no information about that, and that is why we are filing a report this early in the process," she said.Martinsen said that before the whale's death, her organization had assessed the risk level of Russia attempting to kill or capture the whale as "extremely low."Sebastian Strand, the founder of Marine Mind, an organization that cared for Hvladimir, told BI that he's holding off on jumping to any conclusions, describing the allegations as "speculation."He added that Norway's veterinary institute "has not released their findings yet."In a follow-up message, Strand confirmed that the photos show "presumed bullet wounds" and that the "same thought has, of course, crossed everybody's mind," but he warned against "jumping the gun."A spokesperson for the Norwegian Veterinary Institute said it cannot comment on any results as Hvladimir's autopsy is still ongoing.In an email to BI, they said: "We have, together with the Directorate of Fisheries of Norway, been in contact with the police ahead of the autopsy, and will, of course, involve them if we uncover anything indicating anything suspicious."

This was according to an account by a nonprofit group, Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network, which made a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tmmsn.dolphin.rescue/posts/5228316540540779">Facebook post</a> about the incident on Wednesday. According to the group, the female dolphin was found stranded on Quintana Beach on Sunday evening but was still alive. However, the organization said beachgoers pushed the dolphin back out to sea, where some beachgoers tried to swim with and ride her. "She ultimately stranded and was further harassed by a crowd of people on the beach where she later died before rescuers could arrive on the scene," read the group's Facebook post. "This type of harassment causes undue stress to wild dolphins, is dangerous for the people who interact with them, and is illegal - punishable by fines and jail time if convicted." The network implored beachgoers not to push live dolphins or whales back out to sea and immediately call its hotline to find out how to save the animal and keep it stable.According to the <a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/marine-life-distress/frequent-questions-feeding-or-harassing-marine-mammals-wild?fbclid=IwAR3dkMcsyNFD74KSjJLIvQn-t9ZihBwWR8e7zVxrp4YdhpVZicd-PYzjkD0#what-can-happen-to-those-prosecuted-for-violating-the-mmpa?">National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's guidelines on marine life in distress</a>, people who harass dolphins could be fined up to $11,000 and face a prison term of up to a year. "It is illegal to feed or harass wild marine mammals including dolphins, porpoises, whales, seals, sea lions, and manatees," read the NOAA's guidelines. "For the health and well-being of these animals and for your safety, please do not feed, swim with, or harass these marine animals. We encourage you to observe them from a distance of at least 50 yards (150 feet)." The NOAA also noted in July 2021 that it was getting increasingly concerned with what it said was a growing public interest in dolphins swimming off North Padre Island, Texas. In an <a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/human-interactions-could-be-fatal-texas-dolphin?fbclid=IwAR0mpXtYP5FA1dGGH-IX1xm_jfs8pmhMl-eIUoD3N_Z584remjc4TPjk2KM">article that month</a>, the NOAA's office of law enforcement said that its personnel, in collaboration with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, would be stepping up patrols and investigating people that illegally interact with dolphins by harassing, feeding, or disturbing them.This was after an incident <a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/human-interactions-could-be-fatal-texas-dolphin">when people tried to jump on, swim with, and pet a lone dolphin that was inhabiting the canals near North Padre Island</a>.

Dominic Dyer, an animal welfare campaigner, <a href="https://twitter.com/GMB/status/1430797168084926465">appeared on "Good Morning Britain"</a> on Thursday to discuss his friend Farthing, 52, who founded the <a href="https://www.nowzad.com/our-work/our-mission">Nowzad Animal Shelter</a> in Kabul in 2007.Dyer said a private cargo plane, chartered through donations, was originally approved by the British Foreign Office to fly from Luton Airport in the UK to <keyword id="11892774" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="afghanistan" source="Orion">Afghanistan</keyword> to bring them home.<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-58340272">He later told the BBC</a> that a plane from a neighboring country would instead be used, as the charter plane "could not enter Kabul airspace safely."

"I'm afraid you might dislike me for that but that's my view, there are also some very, very desperate people under real threat."Referencing Wallace's comments, Dyer told "Good Morning Britain" he had confirmation from the Secretary of Defense's office on Wednesday that the rescue plan could go ahead. Later on "Good Morning Britain," <a href="https://twitter.com/GMB/status/1430803843760148482">Wallace said</a> British forces can "facilitate" getting Farthing into the airfield as he is as a British passport holder, but said there are "hard realities" when it comes to his Afghan staff."To effectively bring them through ahead of everyone else in the queue means we are moving other equally desperate Afghans out of the way," Wallace said.Following his interview on "Good Morning Britain," <a href="https://twitter.com/BWallaceMP/status/1430865167471022080">Wallace tweeted to defend his position</a> on prioritizing people over pets and to <a href="https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1430065504291541018">refute claims that the charter plane</a> to rescue Farthing, his staff, and animals was once blocked. He added that "there is no point turning up with a plane until the passengers/pets are airside," which he said can take over 24 hours.Dominic Dyer, representatives for Nowzad, and the Ministry of Defence did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Sea stars like SpongeBob's partner-in-crime, Patrick, don't wear swim trunks, either. Nevertheless, marine scientist Christopher Mah quickly spotted the resemblance between the Nickelodeon cartoon characters and a real-life yellow sponge and pink sea star found deep under the Atlantic waves. A remotely operated deep-sea vehicle spotted the colorful duo on Tuesday on the side of an underwater mountain called Retriever seamount, which is located 200 miles east of New York City."I normally avoid these refs... but WOW. REAL LIFE SpongeBob and Patrick!" Mah, a researcher affiliated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, <a href="https://twitter.com/echinoblog/status/1420069675036147713?s=20">tweeted</a>. As part of its <a href="https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/explorations/ex2104/welcome.html">newest deep-sea expedition</a>, NOAA's Okeanos Explorer ship is sending remotely-operated vehicles like the one that found the sponge and star more than a mile below the Atlantic's surface. The ROVs, as they're known, explore submarine habitats, livestream their journeys, and capture images of denizens in the deep. <div type="image" title="Soleimani SpongeBob" height="742" width="990" msid="84844455" hostid="261"></div>"I thought it would be funny to make the comparison, which for once was actually kind of comparable to the iconic images/colors of the cartoon characters," Mah told Insider via email. "As a biologist who specializes in sea stars, most depictions of Patrick and Spongebob are incorrect."<h2>Comparing SpongeBob and Patrick to their real-life counterparts</h2>There are more than 8,500 species of sponges, and the creatures have been living in the ocean for the last 600 million years. Their shapes and textures vary depending on whether they live on soft sand or hard, rocky surfaces.Very few of them resemble SpongeBob's boxy shape.<div type="image" title="spongebob" height="449" width="800" msid="84844456" hostid="261"></div>But the SpongeBob-like sponge in the image, Mah said, belongs to the genus Hertwigia. He was surprised by its bright yellow color, which is unusual for the deep sea. That far down, most things are orange or white to help them camouflage in the dimly lit environment.<div type="image" title="sea star" height="492" width="742" msid="84844457" hostid="261"></div>The sea star nearby, known as Chondraster, has five arms covered with tiny suckers. Those allow it to creep across the ocean floor and attach itself to rocks and other organisms. Chondraster stars can be dark pink, light pink, or white.This star's color "was a bright pink that strongly evoked Patrick," Mah said.Sea stars are carnivores. Once one clings to a clam, oyster, or snail, the animal extends its stomach out through its mouth then uses enzymes to break down and digest its prey.Sea sponges, in fact, are a preferred menu item for Chondraster stars, Mah said. So the pink Patrick-like creature scooting close to the sponge likely had food, not friendship, in mind. The image below, taken last week as part of the same NOAA expedition, shows a white sea star, likely a Chondraster, preying on a sponge.<div type="image" title="sea sponge" height="384" width="679" msid="84844458" hostid="261"></div>These creatures' deep-sea habitat is freezing; no sunlight penetrates. They live "in the true abyss of the ocean," Mah said, "well below the depth we think of where cartoon SpongeBob and Patrick live."<h2>Sharing images from the deep</h2><div type="image" title="sponges and coral" height="540" width="957" msid="84844460" hostid="261"></div>Mah, an expert in sea stars who works at the Smithsonian Museum, hopes to use footage from the Okeanos ROVs to identify new star species.Since 2010, the program has helped researchers explore the depths below the Hawaiian Islands, the US Pacific Island territories, the Gulf of Mexico, and "all up and down the East Coast," Mah said. NOAA's ROVs can traverse deep-sea canyons, sea mounts, and other habitats."We have investigated up to 4,600-meter depths [15,000 feet, or almost 3 miles] and seen a wide range of never-before-seen ocean life, including huge deep-sea corals, many deep-sea fish, starfishes, sponges of which many are undescribed species and thus new to <keyword id="41551" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="science">science</keyword>," Mah said.He added: "Some of it is very alien and in some cases bizarre."

In captivity, under current federal standards, two dolphins can be held together in a tank that is just 24 feet long and 7 feet deep.Still, the group argues, "Even in the largest facilities, a captive dolphin's room to move is decreased enormously, allowing the animals access to less than one ten-thousandth of one percent of their normal habitat size."Have a <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">news</keyword> tip?

The debate was finally settled in a <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/mms.12906" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report published in Marine Mammal Science</a> in 2022.<h2>Orcas can hunt and kill blue whales</h2>The report documented the first recorded observations of a pod of orcas — also known as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/five-misconceptions-about-killer-whales-2023-5">killer whales</a> — attacking blue whales off the coast of Western Australia.The attacks were recorded by marine scientists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CetRecWA">Cetrec WA (Cetacean Research).</a> The report includes details of how the killer whales swam inside the mouth of the enormous whales to eat their nutritionally rich tongue just before they died."Here we provide the first documentation of killer whales killing and eating blue whales: two individuals killed, 16 days apart in 2019, and a third in 2021," the researchers wrote in the paper. "Notably, the first whale taken appeared to be a healthy adult."Researchers arrived at the first killing of a 72-foot-long <keyword id="13058252" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="blue-whale" source="Orion">blue whale</keyword> to see large chunks of skin and blubber having been gouged from its body and with most of the dorsal fin having been bitten off. It was followed by relentless attacks by the orcas, where three lined up against the blue whale and pushed it underwater, while two attacked its head. The study explains that 50 orcas joined the pack for six hours to feed on the carcass. Hunting in large numbers like this is not all that uncommon for orcas. They have highly-developed methods of communication which enables them to orchestrate hunting tactics as well as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/killer-whales-may-be-imitating-orca-striking-sinking-boats-researchers-2023-5">imitate each other</a>.A few weeks later, the next attack occurred when a blue whale calf was targeted. Twenty-five orcas attacked the 40-foot-long animal. The final attack recorded by the study was on a 45-foot-long blue whale, chased for 15 miles in a 90-minute hunt. Again, the orcas' hunting strategy was to push and ram the whale under the water while others attacked its head and tongue. A 50-strong pod devoured the remains of the kill.<div type="image" title="orca whale calf" height="3352" width="4470" msid="89200791" hostid="261"></div><h2>Mother orcas are the lead aggressors</h2>Previous studies had concluded that orca attacks had to be executed by the biggest killer whales — who are male and can grow to 30 feet in length — to be successful. But the new research documented that these killings were led by female orcas, with the study saying that the drive to feed their offspring could make them more aggressive. "This is the biggest predation event on this planet: the biggest apex predator taking down the biggest prey," study coauthor <a href="https://mmi.oregonstate.edu/people/robert-pitman">Robert Pitman</a>, a marine ecologist at Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute, <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=496fde99108316666f620f6ddfbd88a58dd6575564ab8ce72844184017ca9e8c&amp;postID=61f403859d813276532eea5a&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalgeographic.com%2Fanimals%2Farticle%2Forcas-can-kill-blue-whales-the-biggest-animal-on-earth">told National Geographic</a>.
